hi Titi, great video and great job in being able to speak youruba better than me. I was curious to know of what the career opportunities or what doors have been opened as a result of your decision to learn the language and the culture- There must be alot of job offer and potential projects on offer for you?
shame on me, titi speak better yoruba better than me..thats what u get after30 years in yankee..titi, i want marry uo, make u teach me yoruba again..lol
@IfImBeingHonest shut up bitch, do you have a language at all, you pathetic cretin. leave us alone AKATA NI E .. and that will never ever change.. so go and sit on it..
@yemi8149 that idiot ifambeinghonest is not an african , he is a troll account his real name is "princenoiramerican" he trolls us cos we kick his insulting ass .. he thinks he is coming to "rule africans" by proxy.. he is an ass hole of the first order.. and he needs the order of the "boot"
haha this video is great, and those beads at the little shop reminded me New Orleans. beads for boobs. Oh u should have gone to Yaba or Oshodi in Lagos, thats the ultimate Lagos market experience.
It's not that the kids don't want to speak Yoruba, it's because of what their parents have instilled in them. I find those parents pathetic because their children usually end up never fitting in anywhere 'specially as Nigerians are embracing our cultures more & more. Some parents think banning local languages from their homes will make their children more Western, but the Nigerian accent never quite leaves & the foreign one never quite sticks. The end result is confused, self-loathing kids.
when i was there last summer it shocked me how common it was that the kids only speak pidgin and NO yoruba! especially in lagos where thats there main language. I met some young girls in there 20's saying that they want their kids to only learn english so they can go to america in the future and fit in. Its quite sad actually, but then again my parents never bothered to teach me their languages =/
@jazzepink Same with mine, for me it's a bit frustrating that I cannot speak my native tongue as there's this feeling of pride or superiority in being able to speak a different language than the norm, living in the UK now, in all its cultural diversity, I feel left out when the Russians or Germans or even Asians go off in their little groups speaking their native tongue and I don't have that why, cause I only speak English, why, cause my parents could not be bothered to teach us their languages.
It's a shame that many children, particularly in Lagos, think it's hip not to speak Yoruba. I blame the parents who also think it a sign of their social class if they converse with their children only in English at the detriment of their indigenous language. You won't find this mentality within the Ibos or Hausas.
I follow and really enjoy your videos and blogs.I love street scenes the most because it has been almost 5 years since I have been in Nigeria.I think the young boy meant that the Yoruba language is "common" as opposed to sophisticated and wordly. He has no concept that his culture is special and unique.
Hey Titi I was born in Lagos but I moved as a child. Its good to see what some of it is like. I will def be making a return trip soon! Also keep up the good work! I really enjoy the vids
